Press conferences and social media posts have not changed conditions on the ground. Another person taken today off of Central Ave and Northeast middle school had to delay letting kids leave because of ICE presence in the area. The federal government continues to make our community less safe.

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

seeing conservatives admit alex pretti was disarmed and need to change their message to “well you know where you won’t get shot? at home” is just an impressive level of pathetic allegiance to their dictator

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Can't believe Vancouver would trade the player (Cava) that gives you a championship (she won 3 straight championships, Toronto Six and Frost)
TRADE ALERT - The Ottawa Charge has acquired forwards Michela Cava and Brooke McQuigge along with defender Emma Greco from the Vancouver Goldeneyes in exchange for forwards Mannon McMahon, Anna Meixner and Anna Shokhina.

I keep thinking about the moral pincer concept that @baratunde.com describes here. Leading with non-violence is necessary, it’s risky no matter what, yes it’s unjust and hypocritical and they will escalate and provoke, and we still need to show up to resist and disrupt, but train up and be prepared.

Just like Chauvin.
A lot of the early responses to the murder of Renee Good were about ICE agents needing more training. It turns out Jonathan Ross wasn't just very well trained but was training other people. That should probably tell us something.

This was incredible. We fed 40 families today. Thank you to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for helping fundraise, @elitalksmpls.bsky.social for organizing with me, and the dozen people who helped us pack and shop. And thank you to everyone who donated. I have no words.

The Olympic games really showing how much they care about the womens tournament. They have only ever talked about the ice being ready for the mens tournament, not a care about the womens teams.
The first game staged inside the main venue where hockey will be played at the Milano Cortina Olympics had to be delayed for five minutes to repair a hole in the ice.

This is what O'Hara should be saying.
Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Bilal:

“No law enforcement professional wears a mask…No law enforcement professional shoots at a moving vehicle.

“What Trump’s private army is doing…is not only against legal law, but moral law.”

Vows to arrest agents on site who commit crimes.

If I read this right we can still do 311 reports on people for icy sidewalks even if it has been a while since last snowfall? The warm weather the last week or so has given people plenty of opportunities to clear snow and ice buildup and lots just haven't.

Hey all,
I have abt 30 families in South Minneapolis who need grocery support. I’m hoping to raise $3000 to do a big Costco run, but I don’t have Venmo & I don’t have the ability to float it on my credit card. You can verify this need w/ @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Please let me know if you have ideas

In 2019, I moved to Minneapolis for law school. My wife and I felt lucky to buy a house in a beautiful, vibrant part of the city. This is now the second murder by law enforcement in my neighborhood. to become national news.

Two things are true:
- Enough is enough
- I am so proud of my neighbors

Walking is kind of dicey in MPLS this AM. Lots of slush and puddles with slick ice underneath. Anyone with a responsibility to clear sidewalks needs to be out today before things freeze overnight

Her shot is so special when she lets it rip. I can't tell if the offense doesn't set her up for more shots or she is looking for passes first then shots, but the Frost really need to get her shooting more per game given her shot.

Very weird for your POTG to not be the first star of the game and also a player that took a penalty? Anything to boost any positive narrative for the player everyone boo’s.
First goal of the season and an assist 🥳

Ash Tifa's comment at the end here pretty much sums it up for me. Britta's would have a lot of work to do before I move on, and going to the athletic to say "I have compassion for trans people but don't want them in sports" doesn't make much movement on that.
From @theathletic.com: Hockey player Britta Curl-Salemme has been accused of being transphobic and politically polarizing. Apart from a brief public apology a few days after she was drafted, she has never addressed the controversy — until now.

The USMNT is going a great job at getting me to care even less about them.

Not holding my breath to see whether Deena and her editors at the Strib deem it newsworthy that the City Auditor found that Frey has created an environment ripe for fraud with his resistance to oversight and accountability.
